[Rule-list] swapon /swap

Greetings all.

After trying to install RH6.2 on my 386 with only 8MB of RAM. I learned from 
the help of others that it seems the second stage RAM disk is too big for my 
computer's setup. Perhaps the swap partitions weren't mounted yet, or 
perhaps they were mounted, but swap + RAM is too small for the RAM disk.

What would you guys think of creating swap files during installation and 
then removing them after completion? I hope that this hasn't been discussed 
yet, because I don't want to waste your time.


Sincerely, and with thanks,
Eugene T.S. Wong
